The Business Owner’s Guide to Resilience Add Resilience to Deal With Entrepreneurial Difficulties Former Navy SEAL Eric Greitens writes in his book Resilience: “Many of life’s annoyances just have to be ignored. That doesn’t mean that we suppress, ignore or deny every pain. Serious pain has to be confronted. But one mark of resilience is learning to tell which pain deserves our attention. Paying attention to every pain, all the time, doesn’t lead to resilience. It usually just leads to whining.” Emotionally strong business owners don’t waste time feeling sorry for themselves. You can’t be successful and complain at the same time. Focusing on troubles and moving towards success really happen together. Learn to discern what the problem is and then reframe or prioritize the situation. Does it really need your energy and attention … right now? Or can you let it go or put some emotional space between it.
